Make preprocessor support more generic by passing all command-line options
after -p except for the last (the ruleset file to process) to the
preprocessor for interpretation. This allows command-line options besides
-U and -D to be passed to cpp(1) and m4(1) as well as making it easier to
use other preprocessors.
